2) Why do universities need land to set up university? Can it not be virtual and informal?

3) Soft skills (reading, writing, listening,collaborating with fellow students colleagues) is the basic skills without it hard skills cant reach its potential. Today's youth is lacking in soft skills. Universities and colleges MUST focus on that.

4) Teachers should stop role of content creation and teaching , they must assume a role of mentors.

5) Everyone has many ideas. Action is what we are lacking in. Only action-ing ideas will change the nation.

6) Tod Fod Jod Centers at every school. Giving unwanted items like fan, PCs, mixers , grinders etc to students to dismantle and fixing again. 7) Young generation reflect , think and do things differently. Generation in power and administration will be failing in their duty if by their old mild set could not unleash potential of new generation.

They are at National Knowledge Commission and Public Info Infra, are doing some great work connecting Universities, Panchayats, small but basic innovations to change lives of small and medium manufacturers and farmers.

As aptly mentioned by Dr Pitroda, basic problem is not of brain drain or gain but major challenge is Brain Change. Fixed mindset is the challenge at all levels. It has to change first for everything else to change.
